Recipe / Raspberry Lemonade

It’s the simple things in life that brings me great pleasure… such as visiting the farmers market for fresh berries – raspberries in this case. Summer is officially here around these parks, and I thought it would be nice to kick off the season with a pitcher of raspberry lemonade. Our batch was enjoyed with finger sandwiches and chips… talk about simplicity!

I’ve provided the recipe below, so that you too may enjoy a refresher over the weekend!

Recipe:

3 cups water, divided

1 cup fresh raspberries

1 can thawed lemonade concentrate (undiluted)

mint leaves (optional)

Combined 3/4 cup water and raspberries in blender. Process until smooth and strain mixture through a sieve into a bowl. Discard seeds. Combined raspberry liquid, 2 1/4 cup water and lemonade concentrate in a pitcher. Chill then serve.
